“Guys everybody get over here.”
Everybody huddles around J25
“Artemis, activate your bubble shield.”
She does so.
*The rest of the charges detonate."
(Gotta go be back In a few hours)
The explosions stop. Artemis deactivates the bubble shield. She embraces Gears again and kisses him.
“Will you two please stop?!” yells Scorch.
Artemis draws her pistol and shoots right between Scorch’s feet.
Scorch yelps.
Joe stumbles out the door, still confused about where and when he is. As he falls out, he runs into a trash can and spills it all over the ground, leaving its contents strewn all over. As he gets up, his hand touches something solid, pulling out a book with shiny lettering all over it.
“It’s The Book!” Sam happily exclaimed.
“Hurry up and open it, and let’s get back home!” bellowed Fred.
Joe grabbed The Book, as the swirling mists began to cover the Trio, instantly transporting them back to Joe’s bedroom, back in the right time and place.
“Joseph! It’s dinner time, hurry up!” They could hear Joe’s mom calling up the stairs.
“Coming!!” responded Joe. “You guys better hurry home, I’ll see you tommorow,” he said to the others.
“Right,” responded Fred, “until next time guys…”
I’m going to do the pelican Easter egg on reach right now
Sam watches as a massive explosion rocked the base below, illuminating the basalt like surface, light shimmering off of the jagged, glassy hills like a sunrise. A lot must’ve happened during his five hour, pre rescue cat nap. He only hoped that Rook and the others hadn’t made a mess of thing to the point where they had gotten themselves stuck in the blast.
Shaking his head, Sam rustled out the grogginess, stood in full height, and chambered a round. “Payday,” he said to himself before sliding down the hill, grinding down the rocky surface until he reached the bottom. The pain on which the base had detonated was surrounded with dust and debris, all visual past ten feet clouded by a thick gray haze. Toggling his visor, the geomapping function still worked in giving him a route and a general view of the terrain, but hell if he could pick out any life forms in the mess. It didn’t dissuade him from going anyway, charging barrel-first into the chaos, careful not to ride his sights. He was never one for bright ideas in his service days, now was no exception.
Realizes Sam isn’t with them.
“Huh, wonder where Sam is…”
Artemis and Scorch notice Comic.
“Oh my gosh…” says Artemis.
“Is that…?” asks Scorch.
At this point, Sam was steadily jogging his way through the field’s length of smog, ash clinging to his armor to give it a grayish tint. Occasionally he passed a shell shocked insurgent or two that who had enough luck, or lack thereof, to have survived the blast. Only one of them to notice his one-man charge and in reaction managed to pull a dirty M6 magnum from a thigh holster. Sam drew first however, popping off a trio of rounds into the man’s chest, throwing him back into the dust. A moment later, he arrived in time to witness a tender moment happening between Gears and someone he never saw before. Yeah, he thought, probably not the best timing. With a shrug, Sam revealed himself to the group and relaxed out of his combat stance."’ Sup."
“I was wondering when you would show up Sam.”
Points to Artemis.
“This is Artemis, my girlfriend…”
Points to Scorch, who is playing burning chunks of metal from the explosion.
“… and that’s Scorch.”
“Reaper and Blaster got away, and they took Rook with them.”
Turns back to Artemis.
“Where’s Moose?”
Artemis shrugs.
Sam nodded to each respective member as Gears introduced him to his team. “A pleasure,” he said. Glancing over Artemis, he was suddenly reminded of his days on the Invention, the first time he met Numos, the fun war-times they shared together. He hoped Gears had better luck ahead of him than Sam did. Taking time off sucked.
“Where’d they take Rook?”
Rook in a prison tent confused and still hurt
“thirsty”
says rook
rook tries to get realizing he is strapped on the bed then a orb teleports in
“greetings”
says a flooting orb
“I am owner of installation 01 these soldiers have taken me prisoner thinking they can use my ring as a weapon to kill your army I have escaped and come to help you may call me oricle”
says orical
he frees rook and sees he is injured
“you won’t be able to fight like that let me teleport you somewere”
they teleport to a under ground base
rook looks behind him
“is that a prototype suit (seen in halo legends the prototype look it up)”
rook gets in the suit
“oricle can you find a power source”
oricle instead uses his beam and fires at the machine instantly starting it up
“Ric that’s what I am gonna call you can you teleport me up at the base”
says rook
ric deos so
right in the center all the rebels open fire rook uses the minigun small tank gun on his left shoulder and for the hornets uses the anti air missiles on his right shoulder and for small vehicles uses the middle launcher on his right hand and the bubble shield protects the suit
(to see all this type in “halo legends the prototype suit” enjoy)
Rook then activates the jet pack and flys to the hunter being followed by hornets pelicans falcons and vultures (vultures are a air vehicle in
halo wars) and what’s left of the ground units and vehicles
“guys if you can hear me I am coming back with some big guns get ready I got a whole lot of rebels following get ready”
rook says into the radio
“hello the suits years old the come wouldn’t be updated I can only hope they received part of the message”
(Sorry guys I’m gonna be at work for another hour or so. Ghost Sam along but don’t control his dialogue or get him killed or some nonsense.)
(Guys, I’m worried. You’ve overtaken the amount of replies in offtopic)
(Lol okay.)
Sam, Comic, and the Pilot head back to the pelican.
“So… what now?” asks Scorch.
“You make sure Comic doesn’t get killed by rebels.” says J25.
Scorch grumbles and walks off towards the pelican.
“You mister,” Artemis says as she pushes Gears. “have a lot of explaining to do.”
“And explain I will, but just… Give me your sniper rifle.”
Artemis hands Gears her rifle and mumbles something about bad habits.
Gears takes aim and fires at something off in the distance.
“Head for the pelican. Run.”
Gets on the radio and tells the pilot to prime the engines. Then runs off after Artemis.

(Meaning? Rook starts these crazy missions. No offense.)
Rook is hit by a sniper shot
“what was that supposed to do wait who shot me?”
rook stops and has to hold off the rebels here rook opens fire with the minigun mini tank anti air missiles and the rockets on his left arm
“Ric go tell the others rook sent ya and I will hold the off as long as I can”
says rook
“but the odds of you surviving are 1 to 1,000,000”
says ric
“just go”
ric goes
rook knows he might not come back from this mission and that this may be we’re he is suppose to die like gears said rook wasn’t suppose to die on the ONI base so this must be it
“if I am going to die I will die protecting my friends and the future”
rook keeps on firing with limited ammo
ric then teleports inside the pelican
“do not shoot rook sent me and told me to tell you he will hold off the rebels as long as he can”
ric says
(Yeah, I’m not gonna lie. These GI Joe moments that Rook pulls out of the bag are kinda out there, and most times I don’t even know what’s going on in his posts even though he’s straight up telling us with asterisk speak. So I apologize if I’m speaking out of character for the first time in my stay here, I just want to let people know I’m mostly at work thursday through saturday and that to avoid confusion and having my character show up out of the blue, that people can control him mildly. I don’t know if I’m gonna stick around the RP much longer, as most people, the regulars included, have seemingly drifted off and most of my posts get drowned out.)
rook runs out of ammo then the rebels fire everthing they got at rook
the suit is almost out if power then a missle blows of the right arm then leg the the suit falls over rook looks up the last thing he sees is the pelican heading for infinity
“suit engage system detonation”
says rook
“engaging say the authorization code to confirm”
The password is friends
rook looks at the words a momant then looks at the pelican once again with his friends in it then he starts to speak
“Authorization code friends”
the screen then says confirmed
the suit explodes with the power of a broad sword nuke destroying everything in its path
Sam clung to the end of the Pelican’s cabin, holding a handle above his head as he watched the brilliant flash of light. He was mostly lost on the happenings. Having only arrived a week or so prior to the pub, he expected a new place to grab some drinks and not care about anything and instead found himself dealing with some unimaginable nonsense around every corner. Hopefully now, things would be different, make a little more sense. It was hard for him to think of it that way when someone in the current group’s inner circle seemingly died, but at least it was for something he believed in.
Clyde shook his head. “Last known Orion exo-suit, and he blew it up,” he said in light humor. “I don’t think I’d go out any other way.”
He smacked a hand to Gears’ arm and walked off from the ramp, into the cabin, and to the pilot seat. “Set. Get us someplace quiet.”
“Here I grabbed this before I left”
hands Sam rooks helmet
sets the pelican down in a place were it is completely quite
“there’s not much to bury we can only put his helmet on his silenced SMG and stick it in the ground”
says the pilot
